Atlanta Drainage Solutions

Are you having problems with flooding or collected water puddles? That’s ok, everyone has at least had a few drainage problems they’ve had to deal with at some point. We shouldn’t make a big deal out of it though, because every problem comes with a solution. Your solution can be found with drainage repair in Atlanta by Artistic Concrete Designs. We offer various drainage solutions to your problems and are here to help give you advice on how to deal with them.

Common Drainage Problems

A very common problem would be a slope or pitch blocking the water from flowing away from the house. The buildup of water can cause the sides of the house to rot and even attract termites. A French drain or a sump pump system if you have a basement can be installed for this problem. French drains are designed to move water that is trapped on the ground towards an area of soil that can withstand frequent absorption. The French drainage solution is an easy alternative for the traditional pipe drainage system and helps save the foundation and surroundings of your home.

Another problem that is faced has to do with downspouts. Some Atlanta homes do not have a downspout for the water to be led away from the house, so the water ends up flooding specific areas. Having a downspout isn’t enough though, the position and direction of your downspout is important as well. What good would it be if the existing downspout just led all the runoff water near the foundation of your house? We don’t want that to happen. That’s why Artistic Concrete Designs offers drainage installation in Atlanta so you can find the most efficient way to save your house from flooding.

Several "soggy" parts in your yard may be receiving more water than necessary. What you could do for this problem is create a rain garden. A rain garden is an area purposely planted to receive runoff where soil that is designed to slowly absorb it will be planted with different plants. The plants are all capable of absorbing the excess runoff water. If you would not like to do this, you can always search for "drainage installers near me" and have yard drainage installation for a new system.
